May's weigh-in..... and ACID!!

OK... the good news is I lost 12 pounds this month. I am happy with that. My grand total is 71 pounds lost. I am down to 240..... haven't been that low in ages and I am really looking forward to next month's weigh-in.

 

Maybe.

 

For the last three nights, I have been waking up in the night, coughing, sputtering, my throat burning... it has been awful. The nurse said I may have to have a tiny bit of fluid taken out if it persists. Why would all be perfectly fine for several months then suddenly be too tight? I usually only feel tight when it is PMS time... then I get a lot of water retention and have to stick to liquids and soft stuff for a few days.

 

And... yesterday.... I might have been stuck, but I am not sure. All I know is I was a little tight in the morning, like normal. Doing well at lunch time..... but right after lunch just felt overly full..... achy in my chest, pain in the boob...... everything hurt all the way through to my back. I did OK with water late in the afternoon if I took it slowly, but didn't handle dinner well at all... had only about 4 bites of lasagna... I felt crappy all night, until 1130, when I finally just threw up..... then I was up a couple hours later with the acid.

 

So... weigh0in was nice, but jeez, what the hell is all this other stuff all of a sudden?

 

I am headed to my boyfriend's soon for the evening.... he is always so sweet to cook for me... I just hope I can handle a bit of food tonight.

LAP-BAND Patients

Since I haven't been banded yet, I can't say from personal knowledge. But everything I have been reading here at this site and from the paperwork my surgeon has given me it sounds as if the band is too tight. You might want to speak with your surgeon. No one wants to be flying high, losing weight but feeling sick. Good luck and keep up the great weight loss.
